Fluorescence Polarization Immunoassays for rapid determination of mycotoxins
Fluorescence Polarization (FP) Immunoassay is a homogeneous technique that is getting attention as screening tool in food-safety control due to its simplicity, rapidity, cheapness and reliability. A competitive FP immunoassay measures the toxin concentration in solution by monitoring the interaction...

Reward in eating local food: molecular mechanisms
The study of feeding integrates different processes involving brain structures that act in a concerted manner to the understanding of hedonic and homeostatic mechanisms (Dagher, 2009). The homeostatic control of feeding acts on hypothalamic and brainstem circuits, whereas the renard system is compos...

Enhancement of technological capabilities of extra virgin olive oil for formulation development and healthy food high-quality impact
The research project aims to study the technological functionality of the main structure phenolic antioxidant molecules in the olive oil when present in dispersed state in emulsified systems, of the type oil-in-water. The study will develop model systems of increasing complexity of formulation start...
Study of the relationship between physical properties and release of volatile aroma compounds in food systems
The project objective is to study the relationship between physical properties and release of volatile aroma compounds and their perception in amorphous food systems. The study will use as model systems of confectionery products, particularly those rubbery and Gelled that are of particular interest...
Technological and functional characterization of local genetic resource for biodiversity valorisation
Tthe research project will be addressed to the identification and characterization of local varieties with the support of technicians belonging to different local agricultural organizations. These products will be characterized from the physiologic, morphologic, chemical, biochemical and physical po...
Developing solutions biopreservative aimed at controlling the microbial growth in meat vacuum packed and chilled
The project aims to develop strategies that involve biopreservation combination of plant extracts, possibly in association with reduced quantities of salt or acid organic, with the aim of controlling microbial growth and oxidation in the packaged meat vacuum and refrigerated. The biopreservation has...

Upgrading quality and stability of a typical Abruzzo food product: “arrosticini”
The project will evaluate the quality profile of “arrosticini” (chemical composition, lipids content, fatty acids profile) highlighting possible differences due to finishing (in stable during winter and grazing during spring and autumn), related to product shelf-life. In addition, by means of in vit...
Hydrogen rich gas by catalytic gasification of agricultural by-products in a fluidised bed gasifier.
In this R&D program catalytic ceramic filters are inserted into the freeboard of the gasifier in order to reduce the heavy organic compounds as well as the impurities and particulate. The biomass steam gasification are carried out using a segment of a full industrial size filter candle with an inte...

Advanced sensing materials based on biomimetic receptors anchored on highly-conjugated molecular platforms
The R&D project intends to focus on the design of selective fluorescent sensing materials. With respect to the typical "fluorophore-spacer-receptor" sensor format, the approach is to assembling of a new family of sensing materials using as a fluorophoric signalling unit highly ethynylated platforms,...
